How hard is it to circumvent a wall? Drug traffickers will have nice new roads leading to the border on US side built with tax payer money for the purpose of "getting equipment to the wall construction site".

They still have to get over the wall. And how will they get a fucking car over the wall to even use those nice new roads.

If G.W. Bush had built a 80 mile tall wall,around America,9/11 wouldn't have happened.

National security is not just a single pronged approach. It's a multi pronged approach where every hole in the home needs to be sealed off to prevent the rats from getting in:Immigration controls to prevent terrorists coming in.Security and screening to prevent terrorists getting on flights.Wall to keep criminals coming from the South.Cyber security to keep China from stealing our secrets.CIA to gather intelligence on enemies who want to harm us like NK and Iran.Military to blow up ISIS and Al Qaeda.........Why is it so hard to understand all of the above?

If it isn’t a crime for 20-50 million illegals to waltz across the border with their fanny pack and bottled water, then why do Americans need to go through customs every time we travel and have people perform invasive personal searches? It makes absolutely no sense. They have greater freedoms in America than citizens- why can’t someone just hammer that point home?

And how will they get a fucking car over the wall to even use those nice new roads.

ha ha uh... maybe they could meet another car on the US side or dirt bike or horse or some dudes with calves as big a cantaloupes or drones or any fucking way. There is always a way through, over or under a fixed barrier. Technology and manpower is the way to go outside of urban or other populated areas where barriers do make sense. Why not go for better results and less cost and disruption? The wall from Pacific to the Gulf is simply a political symbol sold by a grifter to his gullible followers

no actually they don't need to get the car over the border ... Just the drugs. 1 car/truck in Mexico 1 in US. Metal slat wall drugs can be handed through, solid wall thrown over.

Why not go for both? A physical barrier aka Wall and technology. Less manpower will be needed that way, and we save money. We also save money by preventing criminals from getting in. Illegal aliens, both criminal and non criminal are costing us a hell of a lot more than a measly $5 billion to keep them out.

The coast to coast wall ain't going to happen and 5 billion isn't even a very good down payment on what this thing would cost. Trumps people haven't even spent the money appropriated last year for more barriers. Environmental issues, eminent domain issues, the terrain and geography of the border area all make the coast to coast wall a symbol not a realistic border control.

You do know approximately 1/3 of the border already has some type of wall or fence, right? Trump is just going to fill in the areas that have been determined are problem areas.

Oh wait, you didn't know that much already exists (and a lot was built during Obama's Presidency)?
